Who the fuck does Aloui Cisse think he is, that cunt and every other Afcon national team manager are making, or attempting to make their names off the back of the training and development of their players by top European clubs and managers, Mo's goal return was 1 in 4 before we signed him, no-one else was knocking on Roma's door, he also failed in the Premier League at Chelsea, who made who?

He ain't the brightest for sure..
I posted it simply because it seems clear to me that there is a growing resentment towards Klopp because some idiot reporter with either a deep sense of insecurity - or with some malice - took his use of a second language the wrong way.

We at least agreed on letting Gini go and not replacing him was idiotic last summer, so not comments either of us made in hindsight as some suggest those who question our transfers and spending doWe both cited the career injury issues of Thiago and Keita and recent, last 2 or 3 seasons, short to medium term injury issues Hendo and Fab had suffered as to why we need the extra senior midfielder - we dropped points in a few games we were only able to field 1 senior CM

Well Nunez looks likely now around £70m plus add ons.
Mane will then go to Bayern for say £35-40m.
I guess Nunez wages are lower than Mane who is on £180k a week.
Ward is key in this apparently he has good knowledge of Portugal league.
Just waiting for Joycey boy to say it then its done.

Even if he did deliberately misconstrue it, the point standsAfcon is shit, the only quality in it comes from the players at top European clubs who have been developed by top managers and coaches at top European clubs, like with England and some other European nations, the Afcon managers frequently don't use the players top European managers have made into top top players for them to the best of their abilities, the overall standard of Afcon is poor and a big part of that is the managers poor tactics and use of the players
Look at the players CIsse had in his squad compared to other nations, he should be fucking walking Afcon and world cup qualifying the shit cunt
Mendy
B.Sarr Koulibaly Diallo Ciss
Mendy Gueye Kouyate
I.Sarr Mane Diedhiou
Look at the spine of that team, miles better than any other Afcon side has, then he has Kouyate from Palace and Sarr from Watford who are both very decent players, he didn't even play Gueye or Mane in the positions I've put them in in which they would be more influential

Fingers crossed, I really hope this one happens, if you look at it, it is the best possible career move he can make, he is a very good fit for how we play, we have lots of Portugese coaches and Portugese speaking players to help him settle quickly and to become the best player he can possibly be, when we sign Ramsay we will have FOUR full backs who can put the ball right on his head if he can make the right runs off the back of, or across the CBs, with Virgil and Konate/Matip already in the mix at set pieces there will be plenty of opportunities we can make for him and the 3 of them being in there can help us make for all of them and that's just the heading and aerial prowess side of his game

Not seen lots of him but he was outstading in both games against us.Fingers crossed, I really hope this one happens, if you look at it, it is the best possible career move he can make, he is a very good fit for how we play, we have lots of Portugese coaches and Portugese speaking players to help him settle quickly and to become the best player he can possibly be, when we sign Ramsay we will have FOUR full backs who can put the ball right on his head if he can make the right runs off the back of, or across the CBs, with Virgil and Konate/Matip already in the mix at set pieces there will be plenty of opportunities we can make for him and the 3 of them being in there can help us make for all of them and that's just the heading and aerial prowess side of his game
I know he scored a few but I watched his work rate and from what I saw he certainly wasn't lazy.

Our midfield shape has altered between the 2 seasons.
When Fab, Hendo & Gini routinely played the shape was
Gini
......................Hendo
..........Fab
Gini would push up on the left side with Hendo in a more defensive role.
This worked well as it complimented the other qualities of their respective sides.
Hendo was deeper on the right, covering Trent more regularly whilst Salah is 99.99% of the time our most advances attacker.
On the left a sturdier side defensively had Virgil, Robbo & Mane all excellent defenders.
Gini had more license to join the attack and link up play.
This year with Fab, Hendo & Thiago our shape has augmented on the X-axis... our shape more routinely
.......................Hendo
Thiago
.............Fab
This decision in contrast, accentuates imperfections in our side.
Both Naby & Thiago beat Hendo (and Gini) on stats for tackles&intercepts. But in big moments you don't see Hendo with a soft shoulder, easily bet or making poor decisions.
For me Hendo should be a deeper midfielder than Naby or Thiago.
Thiago
.......................Hendo
.............Fab
First Team
They do, but the stats aren't really an accurate representation or relevant to how we play, quite a few of the tackles I have seen from Naby, Thiago and Fab are from having to go to ground through being caught out of position, so in that respect them having more tackles isn't necessarily a good thing
Gini and Hendo were far more expert in playing the pressing and counter pressing game than Keita, Thaigo or Fab, they were and Hendo is so frequently the player who presses expertly to pen players in, allowing one of our other players to come in and nick the ball off them, or restricts where they can pass the ball so it can be easily read for one of our other players to intercept it
Until the middle class stats wankers develop a thorough and proper appreciation of the pressing and counter pressing game and create stats for the incredible ability and prowess Hendo and Gini so constantly and consistently display(ed) in it, their crappy stats will always make players who are priceless in the modern game in which all the very sides employ a pressing and counter pressing game and masters at it, look somehow inferior to players who aren't nearly as good at them at playing it

That isn't accurate i'm afraid, Gini and Hendo both always did both those things, Hendo would sit to support Trent's forward plays, Gini would sit to support Robbo's
You've accurately highlighted my point about our playing more of a 3 more of the time in Fab's absence though, there were a lot of games in 19-20 when for the purposes of a much better press and counter press, which was when it hit it's absolute peak under Jurgen, all 3 of our mids were involved in it, with Fab, he sits and often isn't involved in it, and that's been an adjustment made by Jurgen from the instances of Fab getting ahead of players he needed to stay our side of when he was higher
